THE GREAT RACE.
ClinQstone Won the $4,000 Purse at
Cleveland Yesterday.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 1.-TWO of
the most noted trotting horses in the world
were booked to go at the fall meeting of
the Driving Park association this afternoon
They were Patron, ia IA, the sensation
of the year, and Clingstone. Both are
owned here and Clingstone In his greatest
contest with Edwin Winthorne several
years ago reduced his record to 2:14 There
was great crowd at the park and lnsty
cheer went up from thousands OF specta-
tors when Patron came down the stretch,
then Clingstone appeared with Willard Sand
ers who trained him, to marshal
him to victory, and the demonstration was
repeated. Patron was great favorite at
first and sold liz the pools at big odds. First
it was $50 to So on Patron, then $25 on
Patron and 81 on Clingstone, but finally
the tide turned and Clingstone was the
favorite, selling at $25 to $40. The race
was for pnrse of So 600, offered by the
Cleveland Driving Park Company. After
Patron had lost two heats the bell rang for
the fourth heat, but Mr.. Emery refused to
allow his horse to start again because of
his condition and darkness, whereupon
the judges sent Clingstone on
walk over the track and awarded
him the purse. In the first
heat, Clingstone had the best send off, but
Patron passed him at the half, Clingstone
trotted great clip then, and would have
won the heat but broke and Patron went
under the wire in 2:17. Pools sold at this
point at $25 TO 81 in Patrons favor
Cl:ngstone got the start in the second heat,
but was soon Tapped by Patron, who broke
badly. When he was brought down he
was 100 yards in the rear. He went at it
again and came into home stretch hugging
Clingstone's wheel. The pace was too
great however and Clingstone took the
heat In 2:19. Patron was the favorite in
pools. Patron passed Clingtone in the
third heat at half and at the three-quarter he
lead by two lengths. In the home stretch
ClingstOne was given the whip and came
under the wire seven lenths In the lead in
2:19. Pools now sold $25 to $12 on
Clingstone 1t was late and darkness
was coming on and TO the surprise of
every one Mr.. Emery refused to bring his
horse out. Clingstone was therefore driven
over the course in slow time and thus won
the contest. Mr. Emery declared that
Patron was sick and that it was too dark
to trot The summary is as follows:

In an English Hotel.

The style of charging dinners is to submit
to you printed blank upon which what you
have ordered is written, and just before rising
from the table you are desired TO approve it
by signature before the waiter carries it to
the cashier to be charged to YOUR account
and if staying at the hotel for few days you
are only permitted to pay for what you order
on leaving, or. if remaining more than a
week at the end of each week, when the huge
bin of items is handed in. 1t is of course i'm
possible to tell then if the charges for the
various meals, etc, have all been made cor
rectly unless one is blest with memory not
vouchsafed to ordinary mortals, or does as
friend of the author did who was staying
there with his family, make daily record of
everything they ordered in his pocket memo
